Snow drizzle was not only forecast, it was delivered.

Still walked a little walk through the city.

Warmed up in my favorite cafe Hahn 🐓, drank a latte macchiato with the friendly Dutchman.

In Fritzlar, the historic buildings have information boards.

Fritzlar is charming thanks to its large number of magnificent half-timbered houses and a largely preserved city wall with several defensive towers and watchtowers. The Grey Tower, next to which parking is free, is even considered the tallest surviving municipal defense tower in Germany.
The Imperial Cathedral, which bears the title of a minor basilica, is also impressive.
